Fantasy Flight Games' new Lord of the Rings Living Card Game kicks off next week. The Lord of the Rings Core Set is scheduled to ship on Tuesday, April 19th!

The Lord of the Rings Living Card Game is Fantasy Flight Games' first cooperative LCG. Players build their decks from four spheres of influence (Tactics, Lore, Spirit, and Leadership), selecting heroes, gathering allies, acquiring artifacts, and coordinating their efforts to face Middle-Earth's most dangerous fiends. The Core Set includes 226 cards that can be used to assemble a wide variety of decks right out of the box. Included are three perilous quests that, along with countless combinations of settings and enemies, offer near-limitless replayability. Core Sets are available for just $29 each.

Cryptozoic has released some additional information about the loot cards that will be found in its upcoming World of Warcraft War of the Elements set! (Click the image to the right to take a closer look!)

The super common loot card will be Landro's Lichling. When learned, it counts towards all pet collection achievements. It can be used at any level so it is available for twinks.

The uncommon loot card will be War Party Hitching Post. It summons a hitching post that character, party, or raid members can use to summon a horse mount. The mount automatically adjusts its speed to the player's highest land riding skill. It lasts until the character dismounts.

The rare loot card will be Savage Raptor. A player receives one epic item version when he redeems the code. The mount auomatically adjusts its speed to the player's highest land riding skill. When learned, the raptor mount counts toward the Mountain 'O Mounts achievement (Horde or Alliance).

Cryptozoic also announced that War of the Elements will be released on April 26th. It had originally been expected to arrive on April 12th. The War of the Elements Epic Collection has been delayed until May, but an official release date has yet to be announced.

War of the Elements booster boxes are available for $61. Cases (12 boxes) are $720.
